Getting to Bahrain
From other airports in the region, Bahrain is relatively easy and cheap to reach, with economy roundtrips from the UAE starting at €145. From Europe, we recommend having a closer look at Pegasus Airlines’ sales to the Middle East, that often include round trips to Bahrain for less than €300 with luggage. If you are interested in a connection with a little more comfort, you can expect to around €500 for a roundtrip, e.g. from Paris with Turkish Airlines, Etihad or Bahrain’s own Gulf Air.

Information & Tips for Tokyo
Tokyo is known for its blend of traditional and modern attractions, including the historic Senso-ji Temple, the bustling Shibuya Crossing, and the futuristic Odaiba district. The currency used is the Japanese yen (JPY), and credit cards are widely accepted in many places. Tokyo can be expensive, especially for accommodation and dining in tourist areas, but budget options are available. The weather varies: summers are hot and humid, while winters are cold but generally dry. The best times to visit are in spring (for cherry blossoms) and autumn (for mild temperatures).

Information & Tips for Bahrain
Bahrain, a small island nation in the Persian Gulf, offers a mix of modern and historic attractions, including the Bahrain Fort (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the National Museum, and the bustling Manama Souq. The country uses the Bahraini Dinar (BHD), which is one of the strongest currencies globally. Prices can be relatively high compared to other Gulf countries, especially for accommodation and dining. The weather is very hot and humid in the summer, with milder, more pleasant temperatures from November to March—generally the best time to visit.
Bahrain’s transport infrastructure is fairly basic, with limited public transportation. There’s no metro or train system, and buses can be infrequent and hard to navigate for visitors. Most people rely on taxis or ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem, which are widely available in urban areas. The country is small, so travel between cities like Manama and Muharraq is quick—usually under 30 minutes by car—but traffic can be heavy during peak hours. Renting a car is an option, but driving can be hectic for newcomers.
